Which college QB do we realistically have a chance of drafting?

[Nightman]

The front office has a realistic chance of drafting many eligible quarterback prospects. The real question is whether Jerry Jones & Co. will do rigorous evaluations of all quarterbacks, slot them properly on their big board in rounds one through seven, and pull the trigger if the situation is right.

Due diligence could potentially land you a Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson or Tom Brady, but it is not necessarily the first, third or even as late as the sixth round that a team should target. It is identifying the right man for the job.

You're right. If a "franchise" QB is available at any of their picks, they should take him. Identifying those guys and pulling the trigger are the problems.

What? Russell Wilson beat Payton Manning head to head so what does that mean.

Right? It's as simple as a one on one Ping-Pong game...

True. People keep saying this team has been doing better at drafting, but isn't it the same guys who handed us some terrible drafts as well?
I don't trust them at all unless it's a no-brainer and even then I don't trust them.

Claiborne as good as Deion... My God!

The majority of "franchise" QBs are only selected very high in the first round. I know there are exceptions.But I ain't rolling the dice on a second round QB or later. My next franchise QB will come as a result of a disaster of a season or a trade up for a sure fire prospect.

Murray was 1-9 against top 15 ranked teams. That's why he's compared to romo. Either way, it's a team game. Head To head matchups aren't a big factor when evaluating players ability to translate to the NFL. If we're looking at qb in rounds 5-7. Mettenberger would be a good selection. 6-5 pure pocket passer. Only reason he would still be there in the late rounds is bc of his torn ACL so he will miss the combine. Better size and arm strength than Murray.

I responded already. I'm talking about head to head when they were both at uga. As in Murray was ahead of him on the depth chart at UGA until Mettenberger got kicked off the team. I just worded it poorly the first time.

 

[starfrombirth]

Except murray beat Mettenberger head to head and is a better athlete. Not to mention Mettenberger has character issues. Which is why he didnt play at UGA in the first place.

no.... The bulldogs beat the tigers. Mettenberg had a cannon arm and makes good reads. No to mccaron by the way.

Murray beat out Mettenberger head to head for the starting qb job at uga before Mettenberger got kicked out of the school

There are 10-13 quality starting QBs that weren't high first round picks.

Brady, Flacco, Dalton, Shaub, Romo, Foles, Brees, Rodgers, Kaerpernick, Wilson

Jury still out on Glennon, GSmith, Ponder

If Bridgewater, Bortles or Manziel falls to 16-17, Dallas would have an extremely valuable pick. They would have to decide to keep it or trade it, but they shouldn't let one of those guys slide by.

 

[bodi]

I don't think we draft one

we take UDFA

I nave been watching quit a bit of Jeff Mathews and Tom Savage

I think Savage is the forgotten QB

Dustin Vaughan West Texas A&M 6-4 #230 is an interesting QB

http://draftbreakdown.com/players/dustin-vaughan/


Career: He has played in 30 games with 25 starts behind center. Vaughan is 593 of 949 passing (62.5) with 19 interceptions and 70 touchdowns. He has thrown for 8,124 yards which is third-most in school history and seventh nationally among active career leaders. He is just 1,675 yards behind school career record holder Taylor Harris (9,799). Vaughan is eighth nationally among active career leaders in touchdowns, fifth in passing yards per game (207.8), sixth in passing efficiency (154.73), 12th in total offense yards (8,295) and sixth in total offense yards per game (276.5)

I said in my post there are exceptions. Those three QBs you mentioned are not falling to 17 anyway. And that is why I said I do not use a second round or later pic on one.

 

[Texan_Eph89]

I'd rather not draft someone who "got injured". We have too many of those guys on our roster.

QB is the one position you can get away with it..

It's not like he needs to start day 1..
He's a developmental back up for now; if we can get him at a bargain pick simply because he's hurt, then we have no excuse not to..

 

[Rockport]

I don't watch a lot of college ball and was wondering who you think we could get in the later rounds who could turn out to be really good? What about the kid from Georgia?

We need help in the trenches and all folks are worried about is the QB. Thank you ESPN.

I take Bortles all day the other two I would just pass

 

[CowboyFan4Eva]

At this point it would be hard to give those players away. Too much cap space for a team to want them. You'd have to give up Tyron Smith, or all of this year's picks and next year's first, something like that. It's not happening.

Manziel could drop just like Aaron Rodgers did. I doubt we'd take him at 16. We are too invested in Romo. Even if Manziel excels, he's on the bench for most of his rookie contract according to the plan.

If manziel drops to us in the first round.....knowing we need a backup. Knowing romo has maybe 2 years left.....maybe 3, but that's pushing it. We TAKE HIM. Come on......

 

[Floatyworm]

It's all about value bud...

I guess wheeling out John Kitna on a weeks notice when the playoffs are on the line is your preference. I'd like to have someone who might have actually taken a snap or 2 and is familiar w/ the system!!!!!!

I seriously don't see why teams are so high on (Manziel) a barely 6'ft qb that has a very average arm. I think the media just keeps pushing this kid up to see who is dumb enough to draft him.

 

[KB1122]

TI hope to God that they have some common sense and draft some defensive players early and NOT give them up for a bench-warmer...he will not start over Romo this year or next unless the back is shot and Tony can 't go...IMO, that is how you will be able to tell if Romo can't go, the Cowboys will kill themselves to get a QB...

If you have the right guy, that guy will start by the end of the second year. Doesn't matter who the incumbent is.

 

[IAmLegend]

Cowboys will sign some UFA in hopes that he'll be the next Romo . Jerry's style.

 

[Doomsday101]

With the Cowboys working out that QB the other day I wonder if that's an indication they may not even draft a QB?

I think main reason was when OTA come around we need some arms out there and with Romo likely still rehabbing you need more than just orton. For Mike Kafka it is a chance to go to a team and try to make an impression.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Go dline the first few rounds. No reason we can't talk about qb prospects Dallas could pick up on day 3 of the draft. Wouldn't hurt, and Dallas would save money on Orton.
